Bridal second-change outfits are a great opportunity for brides to switch up their fashion vibe following their wedding ceremony look. Whether it be a mid-reception change or a slip into something festive and fun for a party at a different location, a reception dress or after-party dress will see you dancing the night away in style.

To get you inspired, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite short and sweet party dresses for your reception or post.
